Yea the manifold that comes with the carb is junk! After a few rides, the vibration from the engine will crack the weld at the flange and cause a vacuum leak. This drove me crazy when the crack is small you will experience poor running conditions at top end. Get a new intake manifold ASAP! and avoid problems. Also the intake that comes with that carb is so long and has no support, its very flimsy, go for a billet or cast intake, much better.I Have the same CNS carb! But once I traded out the the crumby manifold that comes with the carb for the Pirate Cycles ported billet intake it was like nite & day. If you think the CNS Carb is nice try it with a ported intake...WOW
There is no *shame* in that. It has been over a hundred degrees here . The power companies are having an hard time keeping up with the demand. I was working outside and was cutting an simple 2x4 frame. And I grabbed the wrong size every time. Brain lock from the heat I guess. At least I hope so LOLYea... about that
Because of all the feedback in this thread I decided to do a lil experimenting jus' to see wassup... and as it turns out I may have advised ya'll incorrectly. I removed the cap from the right port and stuck it on the left - and got a slightly better idle
So I beg to be forgiven *shame*
It's interesting tho, I suffered none of the problems others had when they capped the right hand one... it was while I was doing it's initial tuning & break in & then I jus' left it be... but still, thanks guys for your insights - I'm glad for it as everythin' is as it should be with my carby now
